L 0 ND 0 IV, SATURDAY, JULY 30, 1808. - 2 WE are happy to find; by the Gattenburg4 iWail which arrived this morning, that the disposition both of the People and the Government of Denmark to wards this Country, hai undergone a very material change. By the judicious management of Sir JAMES SAUMAREZ, an agreement- has' been entere d ' into with the Government of Denmark for the Exchatige of Prisoners, which has 'already been .carried into . . . effed. The Prisoners taken on b oar d the Ifrince . CArisfian have been sent home to Denmark, and in' 'return a number of British Prisoners have been sent- to Gottenburgh. They speak very highly of the reception they met with among the Danes, and state, that the Freda], 'thOugh in the charader of Allies, treat. Holstein as a Conqtiered cOnntry; the Dar.ish Arms and Ensigns 'have been taken down every where,. and 'those of France substituted in their room. The Report of an Alliance, offensive and defensive; between BusSia and - Austria, con tinues to gain ground. THE EarYdice Frigate has arrived at Plymouth, and has brought with her a Spanish Schooner, which was cut out of St. Sebastian, by the boats of his Majesty's Ship Unicorn. St. Sebastian is a sea-port :in Biscay, and a very small distaric from Bayonne, the residence of BuoNA"pARTE.---The Spanish Schooner had on board 3000 stand . of. arms, and Dispatches . from King Jot;EPLI to ;Buenog Ayres, 'and the Spanish Colonies in SOuth America: This is the second Dispatch-vessel, sent by BUoNAPARTB or' his Agents, to the Spanish Colonies, which . has been intercepted by our C f ruizers. The Eurydice waszonly three days on her passage. From the in telligence which had reached St. Andero before she galled, it appears that the French had suffered much • more severely than the Patriots, in the battle that took place near Valladolid. Wednesday the QUEEN anti PRINCESSES dined at Frogmore'tikige, Yesterday morning his MAJESTY, the Duke of KENT, Princesses AUGUSTA, SOPHIA, and AMELIA, accompanied by Lord WALSlNquitm, Generals CART 'RIGHT and FITZROY, and .Colonel TAYLOR, and Vidy TiIYNNE, took an airing on horseback in Windsor Park. Her MAJESTY and princess ELI-•. ZABETH took an airing in a carriage to the Princess • ELLAABE'rtr'S Cottage at Old Windsor. Yesterday evening, at eight o ' clock, a Spanish Messenger from Count MATAROSA, accompanied by one of his Majesty' s Messengers trom - tne Foreign OffiCe, left 'town with important dispatches for („Iviedo and Galicia. _ On Wednesday the Lord Provost, Magistrates, and Council of Edinburgh, unanimously voted an Address to his Majesty On the present situation of public affairs. - • -Infve - been received by taro of the first mercantile houses in the City; the one positively asserting that Atinitsossi had quitted Vienna, and the other that the Austrian Ambassador has taken his departurefrom Paris. • A Gentleman his arrived in 'town frotri'-tilbfia, which he left on -the 15th inst. According-to his information there had been two engagements in the neighbourhood of Saragossa.• The first, 'which we have already published, under the name 'of PA - LAFCX, is conceived to be-an exaggeration, , althbugh the resele is understood to have been decisively - against the French-. The second engagernent,which took place upon the Ist and second of July, was fou g h t with uncommon fury, particularly on the part Of the Spanish Patriots.- On the Ist the Patriots fought with nxiskets, against batteries ereeled by the Preach, for it, seems that the Spaniards were the as-- sailants. But upon- the 2d, musketry 'being found comparatively unavailing,. the Patriots threw down their mu,kets, -placed their jackets on their arms, and with their 'myonets alone rushed upon-the most formidable batteries of the French, whom they dis lodged by a most gallant effort. in these attacks the Parriots -are said to have been uniformly followed by the women, -who, actuated by patriotic ardour, and fearless of danger, carried wines, and every seecies of refreshment, tor• the Patriots. Such, indeed,".was the ardour of these women, that they followed the body of valiant men who made the attack- we have men tioned upon the French:battery, anct a tiumuer of them -were the vitims. . • The Science, HOWARD, from London, for New- York, was captured on the Ist of May, by a French Privateer, and carried into Bilboa. - - Cato landed.

We cannot expe& mi.ch news from Norway, as the war there; On the part of Sweden, is become merely a defensive one. '.(he Norwegians have, &tir ing the Campaign, got acq4ainted with most of their weak . poTtntFi, and fortifi . ed ttlyntselves accordingly. From Finland we have no news to-day; but there is a report that the Russians have got possession of Wasa; and that they gave up the town to plunder for two d&►ys. FR.'

In all the Austrian dominions a National 'Guard is to be formed on the same footing as in France. It is also reported that a close alliance is to be con clude,d between Austria and Russia. PETERSBURGH, MAY 14.—l i be day before yester day, died here, at the tender age of 1 8 months, her Imperial Highness the Grand Duchess ELIZABETH ALEXANDRONNA. VIENNA, .TU.N.K B. 7 —The Court Gazette of this day contains the following article from Turkey :-- " The ArMistice between Russia and the Porte still continues; big, nevertheless, orders have been lately sent to all the Governors on the frontiers nut to discontinue the warlike preparations, but to carry them on with increased vigour. All places on the Agean, lonian, ancl Airiatic Coasr,' are reinforced. The head-quarters of the Grand Vizier have bCen removed from Adrianople to Sophia, but the Pro f phet's. standard remai ns as yet in the former place. Numerous corps have already crossed the Hullespont, i on their way from . N a t o li a to t h e army.

The Season at this place may now be said to have • commenced, as there has been a vast influx of Corn pany within the last week or ten days. The Thatre opened on Monday with the Rivals, and The' Tale of Mystery, and the house was very' full: treat satisfaction was most universally expressed with die CoMpany that Mr. WILMOT WELLS has 'got =toga then DE CAMP played "Ickes, in the Comedy, and Francisco, in the Afterpiece, in a very:good style ; and Miss MARTYR gave great pleasure in Roszna. The Wir/t/ and the .Blind Boy were represented on Wednesday evening, to a very good house. There have been two Balls ; the second last night; but at neither was there company enough to form a dance. Mr. LE BAS, whose courtesey and attention are very pleasing, hopes for better tunes. The fields adjoining the Fort are the fashionable Rromenade of an e ven i ng , an d t h e Band of the oyal Anglesey Fusileers ply, for the entertainment of the company, for about an hour. The Cliff to the eastward of the Fort is one ot the most beautiful rind healthful walks it is possible to conceive. The water passage 'seems to be a vely favonrite one this Season.

The novelty of• the arrangement . added fresh interest tb the variety and hilarity of the scene. At about two &clock the company assembled, and in a short time afterwards, a Lottery 'having - been previously prepared, consisting of prizes composed of various articles from the Charitable Repository - and House of Industry, the drawing 'ceinitsenced in a tent appropriated to the purpose. In booths through outrthe grounds were placed several of the respectable tradespeople of Dublin, with setections of their most valuable Irish rni:MufaCtures. Thus the ever active mind o oUr amiable Vice-Queen sought to cop bine pleasure with profit to the Citizens of Doblin. We understand the sum received by the Lottery for the Charitable Repository and House of Industry amounted to between one and two hundred guineas. At 'about lour 'o'clock the doors of a large suite.of apartments were thrown open, presenting a inagnifi- : cent dejeane and cold collation, which was enlivened • by the exertion of those comic talents which Mr. MUNDEN so amply possesses. The health of the Noble Donor was proposed and enthusiastically drank with three times three. The dancing coin-,;: menced about five o'clock, under arches twined with roses and jessamine. Our beloved Viceroy opened the ball with Lady E. LITTLEHALES, then foliowed:l Lady MARY LENOX, Lord KINNOULL, &c. &c: The Duchess of MANCHESTER led off the second set with Capt. GORE, and one of his Grace's Aid-de-Camps, to our favourite national air of St. Patrick's Day.— Whilst the dancing continued, the festive throng wandered in various gro,upes through the gardens.—. All was animation and delight —every breast, beat with gratitude and pleasure, and joyful vivacity sparkled in every eye. The prizes obtained in the Lottery opened a wide field for raillery. ;There the finished Coquette received a Veil to conceal her art ful glances—the Petit Maitre, a warlike trophy—or the rough Soldier, a Bay's Cap; whilst the various booths afforded the national gallantry an opportunity of displaying itself in Petites Gages d'ilmoureld.elm? tie! At about eight o'clock this happy festive circle began to separate, every soul acknowledging t hat part ing was the only unpleasant moment of the day. CLONMEL, JULY, 23.—0 n Wednesday last, Wm. Loughnane and John Dwyer were publicly whipped through the town of: Cahir, pursuant to their sen tence at the last Assizes, f having tumultuously assembled and rioting, and the former assuroings the name of Shanavest, and the latter that of Ca-' ravat. The gallantry and spirit of the yeomanry of this country evinces an ardour, in the cause "of their country, and a wish to relieve a suffering nation from the thraldom of BUONAPARTE, •wnieh has been scarcely. equalled. Oti Saturday last a Communica tion was forwarded to Government, which 4ntiounc ed, that Officers and men, amounting ;0 boo, of dif ferent Corps, offered to volunteer their services in Spain as sharp;shooters ; and we are informed the, -Right Hon. Lord D UNALLY , Si r R . W ALLER, BartJ Captains PEPPER, ANDREWS, TOWERS, VAUGHkt, and CARDEN, with several other respectable cha racters, proposed to lead them to this active service: It is computed that nearly 1000 yeotnany will offer. in this county, and if only 200 volunteered from each other county in Ireland, there would be a dis poseable force of upwards of 7000 gallant heroes.

Yesterday at noon, as the Faringdon stage-coach was going from the Angel Inn, Angel-street,. by some accident it overturned in Aldersgate-street, by which one woman, who was on the roof of the coach; had her leg broken; and several others were so . materially hurt as to prevent their proceeding-on ' theirjournies.' . _ A 4few . ;bys ago, as some men were cutting-hay in a field near Bishop-Wearmouth, they found tkva partridge nests with 14 eggs, which they removed and put under a hen. - The hen sat upon them, and has brought out 14 young birth.
